The 5.3-liter L33 Vortec V8 was installed during the refurbishment and features an LS1 intake manifold, short-tube exhaust headers, and Corvette-branded fuel-rail covers. Additional equipment includes a fabricated air-intake system, an aluminum radiator, and a custom-fabricated engine wiring harness.
Power is delivered to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and front and rear axles that were sourced from a 1978 Land Cruiser. A custom-fabricated exhaust system is installed, and the truck is said to be equipped with 4.11:1 gears.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames Dakota Digital instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and voltage.
The digital odometer indicates 6k miles since the refurbishment was completed. Total chassis mileage is unknown.
